Note my comment was NOT bound to either diffserv or intserv.
It was a discusson on the IP header structure and things that might become
an issue when v6 gets more deployed (which means it will run in both asic's
and np's as well). My suggestion was an issue that is related to determinism
to achieche QoS but the same classification mechanism is used in packet
filterering firewalls (that might alsoi have a counter associated - i.e
stateful inspection) as well. This problems arise from existing memory
contraints (and at least future constraints within 2-3 years from now).
But it was a question/issue raised from me if people shared my concerns.
